The most famous of Florida's native orchids is Polyrrhiza lindenii (a.k.a. Polyradicion or Dendrophylax lindenii). The Ghost Orchid has a strangely shaped large white flower that seems to float in mid-air, on a long stalk arising from a hard-to-see leafless plant tightly pressed to a swamp tree. At night, the flowers have a pleasant perfume, to attract the pollinating moth. But then, nobody in his or her right mind would be there at night.
So picture a white flower with long streamers, floating at eye level in the dusk, viewed only by people not in their right minds, an unusual perfume spreading in the cool air, when a huge moth, its wings making an audible whir, appears hovering before the ghost. Its tongue – half a foot long – uncoils, then arches out and down into the flower's nectary. A full moon is rising and the distant scream of a panther can be heard. Alas, mosquitoes spoil the spell.
The Ghost Orchid is so famous, so frequently illustrated, so much talked about, that anyone with any interest in Florida plants soon hears of it and yearns to see it in bloom in the wild. I see them first while a high school student. My pal Herb, his grandpa, and I drove down the old Tamiami Trail on a camping trip. We saw very large cypress trees with numerous huge cowhorn orchids and bromeliads in their crowns. Herb and I swam the canal and waded to where pond apples' dark green foliage was obvious in the center of the cypresses. Several of the white flowers were seen at once, mixed in with eight other orchid species. We saw dozens of the Polyrrhizas on the trees, perhaps close to a hundred in a small area. Nowadays we hunt all day and see half a dozen plants spread over a much larger area. If lucky, we see one of two in flower, if lucky.
In the 1960s, deep canals were cut across the county. The water table dropped four feet immediately. My original site was bulldozed and is now a vast open farm field. Other places dried up, too. The orchids withered on the trees and winter cold struck, unmoderated by standing water. Pesticides killed the pollinators.
So now we seek these wonderful flowers, hand pollinate them and hope seed eventually will be dispersed. Perhaps future generations will see them in abundance. At least we can hope.

The National Weather Service says there's a good chance of precipitation statewide on Thursday. The Tennessee Valley counties in north Alabama could get 1 or 2 inches of rain with gusty winds, and high temperatures will top out around 80 degrees.
There's an 80 percent chance of rain in central Alabama, and a 60 percent chance on the coast.
The rain is needed since nearly 92 percent of the state's acreage is now abnormally dry or in a full-blown drought. That's slightly worse than last week.
An area of extreme drought covers southeast Alabama nearly all the way to Montgomery, and a severe drought reaches into metro Birmingham.

My Sony Bravia XBR1 is advertised in its specs as being 1366x768 - how can I check if this is the case? I can confirm that when I try and set this through my HTPC's Nvidia graphic's card it is currently rejected, but I believe that may be because of recent drivers rather than the TV not accepting it.
Also, it's great to hear that I would be able to zoom out by 5% to account for the XBR1's overscan, but will this xtra processing / converting noticeably mess with the "purity" of a 720p signal (or better yet a 1366x768 signal if it becomes possible)?
Essentially I'm just tryoing to find the best and most complete image quality I can find and am currently torn between the 983 (that will offer DVD-A and SACD) or a high-end HTPC (that will decrease the number of units in my living room and add "region free" Blu Ray support down the road).
Thanks in advance

As a result two veteran promoters are joining forces to create the new Regional Motocross Association (RMA). One is Tim O'Brien, who runs the Exit 28 track, while the other is Stead MX track promoter Ty Erquiaga.
"Right now in this economy, whether you like each other or not, which Ty and I do and sometimes don't, business is business and the only way we're going to get through this thing is if we team up with people. That means promoters, that means track owners, that means dealers and anybody involved with two-wheels or selling gas for it."
Then Erquiaga added, "Or the motocross community here in Northern Nevada. And Tim said it best, regardless if we might disagree at times on some philosophies at the end of the day we have a mutual goal to grow the sport in this area."
He also mentioned something hopeful in that certain members of other organizations share this philosophy and he as well as O'Brien will invite them to join them in their effort.
Their focus is the amateur ranks as they want to help the younger riders improve their skills as well as offering quality opportunities for competition.
Erquiaga said, "We really want this to be a premier amateur racing event with really top shelf venues and guys that know how to run races."
"By doing that we'll elevate the sport of motocross, attract new sponsors, bigger sponsors and we've done that already with the Livfast Cup," O'Brien said. "We've brought in Coca-Cola, Kellogg's, Monster, Budweiser, people that you don't normally get involved on a local level."
He emphasized the program is always about local tracks, promoters and dealers like the upcoming Dealer's Cup series, which was run last year.
"RMA, our sanctioning body is going to sanction local promoters, who are doing things, trying to gather more people into the sport and trying to create more rider base."
Another factor is that some families like traveling to other destinations where they and their racer children can compete at other venues.
"I realize these families do want to travel, it is a fun thing to go away to a destination, so we just thought it would be more fun to go over the hill," he said. "It would be less mileage, by about 100-miles. But I don't think it's the closeness but the fact these kids are going to be able to race with a high caliber racer and the only reason why they are higher caliber is that we're not organized over here."
Currently they are also searching for a third track in the Marysville, California area that might join the association and be part of any series they sanction.
O'Brien feels the rising price of fuel, especially diesel, will force some families and riders choose how far they can or will travel to races.
Years ago, in better times, rider counts at local events were from 400 to 500 plus. Now, while it's still below 300 that number seems to be rising. As a result both men feel it's a good time to start this new organization as there appears to be renewed interest in the sport, which is probably one of the most economical ways to race.
And both realize there are people that share their views on growing the sport, both here and in Northern California. Those are the exact people both want to work with and help grow the sport.
Both also feel there is work to be done.
Underscoring this Erquiaga said, "It's pretty sad that when Arenacross comes to town and we don't have one local kid riding in the pro class."
O'Brien hopes to make racing more personal for those competing in the this spring's Dealer's Cup Challenge at Exit 28. Winners from last year will run with a red plate on their bikes, trophies all will have the individual's name on it and there will be contingencies that allow them to receive discounts from local shops.
Erquiaga complemented O'Brien on the good things he's done at Exit 28 as well as the new, fun ideas he's bringing to the facility.
"And that kind of momentum and energy needs to be carried out in all the local race tracks," he said.
For the spring both tracks will operate separately. The four-race Dealer's Cup series begins the weekend of April 1 while Stead has the stand along Silver State Classic the final weekend of the month.
Looking toward the future Erquiaga said, "The bottom line is that I hope to see the Stead track involved in the Dealer's Challenge going forward."
O'Brien is also looking ahead, the economics of running a track and what he feels has to be done.
"If we can get dealers and spectators excited about the racing and to see a cool looking track, then it's going to be win-win," O'Brien said. "The rider count is going to be what it is right now in the economy no matter what you do. We've got to change the game, the rules aren't the same and the bottom line is that need to get more money to the track without getting it from the riders."
He feels that spectators and sponsors are key to making a track more profitable.
Then Erquiaga said, "There's a lot to be gained by the local businesses in this community and in any community where there is a race. This is a great demographic that comes to these races. And it's a loyal demo too as the people that come and see a particular brand at an event, they go to those businesses."
O'Brien cited Anderson Meat Company as a new and larger sponsor for the Dealer's Cup, that really has no connection other than enthusiasm for the sport.
"NASCAR and Supercross have proved that motorsport fans are brand loyal," Erquiaga said.
Currently there are eight shops involved with the Dealer's Cup including Testa Motorsports, a small shop in Gardnerville that sponsors 32 young riders.
Another local shop is Moto Source owned by Rich Thorwaldson. This shop won last year's Dealer's Cup and has a loyal following of riders.
With this in mind, both men are opening the doors to more business people and in the long run hope to create a stronger sanctioning group and opportunity for new and different sponsors.
And they are looking at hosting different events like last week's Sand Box Grand Prix where motocross riders and desert riders from MRANN held a joint event.
We're doing this already, we've just not unified from an association level and really made a better community out of all the relevant race tracks. And that is what this is about.
Asked about the future Erquiaga said, "When you see a full gate of 50's or 65's then you know you're doing it right."
Asked if he's optimistic about the future of motocross in our area, O'Brien said, "You have to be."
•No area racing this weekend but Friday through Sunday Al Lockett has his big Outdoor Recreation Expo at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center, which includes motorsports. Race fans can find several series represented including the new Northern Nevada Outlaw Karts, Northern Nevada Kart Club, the SCCA and maybe the Cal-Neva Extreme series, which are the rock crawlers.
•NASCAR's Nevada Quartet spent the weekend at the Bristol Motor Speedway. In Saturday's Nationwide event Kyle Busch started eighth and ended up 17th while a cut tire put T.J. Bell behind but he was able to finish 34th after starting 33rd.
In Sunday's Cup event Kurt Busch finished 22nd while Brendan Gaughan came from 32nd to finish 22nd and Kyle wound up 32nd after starting 12th.

Wildlife Health
Bighorn Sheep and Pneumonia
Washington is home to an estimated 1,650 wild bighorn sheep that range in 17 herds in central and eastern areas of the state. Many of these wild sheep can be easily seen from highways and roadways, such as those in the Yakima River Valley and along Highway 12 near Naches.
Like other wildlife, bighorn sheep are subject to periodic disease outbreaks. A respiratory disease that takes a toll on wild bighorns is pneumonia. Unlike in many wildlife situations, however, the bacteria causing pneumonia in bighorns are not native to North America, and thus bighorns have not had evolutionary time to adapt to it.
Wildlife health researchers across the west have found that pneumonia in bighorns is most often associated with bacteria named Mycoplasma ovipneumoniae, although other bacteria in the family Pasteurellaceae typically take advantage of its presence and cause death.
Domestic sheep and goats carry both M. ovipneumoniae and the various species within Pasteurellaceae, but are not affected clinically. However, wild bighorn sheep infected by these bacteria often develop acute pneumonia and die.
Unfortunately, there is no effective treatment or preventive vaccination for pneumonia in wild bighorn sheep.
Pneumonia is not transmitted from sheep to humans, or to domestic livestock.
Pneumonia outbreaks have killed bighorn sheep in other western states and in some Washington herds. Most recently, infected bighorns were found in late 2009 and early 2010 in the Umtanum herd in the Yakima River Valley.
For additional information on research related to Bighorn Sheep and pneumonia, please visit http://www.bighornhealth.org/index.php/.

I have been a Web/Software Developer since 2006 and I recently had the pleasure of trying the Red Gate SQL Developer Bundle. I have to admit that for any Web or Software developer this is a "must have" tool. The amount of time that I saved by using the schema and data comparison tool is unbelievable. Not to mention the great documentation tool; with a simple click of the mouse I was presented with my full database documentation. I would definitely recommend the software to any professional involved in programming.Massimo Brillante, Software Developer, Health Informatics Centre, University of Dundee
Our ROI has been high, not because we are writing more code, but because we are doing less maintenance, and encounter fewer conflicts in work. This enables us to have a larger team with more separate lines of development than might otherwise be possible.Annette Allen and Dave Green, Database Developers, First Databank
At this point we are really starting to see some good payback on our investment in the full SQL Developer Bundle. Those products were worth the investment back when we only used them sporadically for troubleshooting and DBA analysis, but now with SQL Source Control, they are becoming everyday-use products for the development team.Mark Caldwell, Software Engineering Manager, Interior Specialists, Inc. Family of Companies, (see blog post)
Red Gate's tools are generally considered to be the gold standard. SQL Compare is fast, extremely easy to use – Red Gate pays a huge amount of attention to its UIs – full-featured and affordable. I wouldn't bother messing around with anything else.Adam Machanic, SQL Server MVP
It is possible to work without Red Gate's SQL Server productivity tools; it simply takes twice as long and requires twice the effort. The tools also have a relatively low cost, so a single production rollout could pay for them in itself - in my experience ROI would be a matter of days. I would whole-heartedly recommend them to anyone whose role involves development or administration on MS SQL Server platforms.Jerry Pett, Director, Burnt Orange Designs
Your software is really top notch. It oozes the understanding of what people operating on databases really need to get their jobs done. Keep up the good work.Albert Ulmer, CTO, com.on AG
First let me say that the Red Gate products are one of the cornerstones of my development environment. The software is rock solid and built with a fine attention to detail. Thank you and the Red Gate development staff!David Wilson, Web application specialist
SQL Source Control handles one of the most important tasks in database development; synchronizing application development teams and their processes through code source control.Grant Fritchey, Microsoft MVP
One of the key draws for Red Gate tools has always been the price point and the rapid return on investment. The SQL Bundle has been a standard for my toolbox since 2000, across 4 jobs.Peter Daniels, Database administrator, InComm
I bless the day we bought SQL Compare – it saves me time so often. Must have paid for itself a hundred times over. There's almost nothing I would change about it.Bill Geake, Marie Curie Investment Management
With Data Compare I am 100% confident that work I do on my SQL Server database while on the move, can be cross checked and synchronised with my server in the office with just a few clicks giving me an extra 3 hours productivity a day and no fears of a change being missed.Robin Dewson, Technical Lead, Nomura international
I am a consultant who specializes in backend systems. I normally spend about 50% of my day in SQL Server Management Studio. Since I started using SQL Prompt, I am at least 30% more productive. Even my clients are starting to notice. I honestly cannot comprehend how I managed to write Transact-SQL prior to this tool.John Ek, ekDevelopment
I used SQL Compare with a previous employer and loved it so much I brought the experience here. This time, we bought the whole package. Love it!Jim Franklin, Lead Solutions Developer, J2 Aircraft Dynamics
I would just like to say that I love your products. They are easy to use and incredibly powerful. I can tell that "ingeniously simple tools" is not just a sales slogan - it's a mission statement for you guys. It is truly a pleasure to see a company with such diligent focus on the user experience.
And it's not just the software that focuses on the user, but the sales staff as well. They are always friendly and professional. There is so much bad software out there that it is nice to be reminded what software is supposed to be.Mike Bundy, Flex-Plan Services Inc.

Last winter, in "Your Future as a Free Agent," we coined a phrase many of you found tweet-worthy: Get Your CEO On.
It's a fun, kick-butt sentiment. What does it mean?
Becoming a CEO—as opposed to just "running your business"—demands that you step into a leadership role for your company, even if you're self-employed.
"Many women see themselves in relation to the product or service they deliver, and not as the leader of a company," says Nell Merlino, who runs the Make Mine a Million $ Business initiative.
But, she notes, "It's a mistake to get lost in the daily grind."
To get your CEO on, you have to relinquish control of the day-to-day details, by handing them over to contractors, employees, or volunteers.
If you're self-employed or a consultant, consider ways to outsource administrative tasks like bookkeeping or HTML.
Why? Because "everything you do needs to be tied back to return on investment and income generation," says business coach Fabienne Fredrickson.
Success doesn't come from micro-managing what everybody else is doing. It comes from empowering people around you, so that you can focus on what's going to keep you in business: revenue.
Suit up. Name three ways you can get your CEO on.

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez: Cuddling, Shirtless, SEXY in New Photo!by Free Britney at . Updated at .
Justin Bieber has posted a HOT new photo on Instagram of himself with Selena Gomez, and the pop star didn't take it down within minutes this time.
He is shirtless and working on his computer as she clings to his back.
And, as if the Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez image weren't telling enough, his caption reads: "You've been makin music for too long babe come cuddle - her"
With this, Beliebers and Seleantors around the world are joyously celebrating what appears to be official confirmation that the two are a full-on couple again.
Or they're stabbing their Selena/Justin voodoo dolls. It's unclear.
He's apparently willing to go public now, though. Last weekend, he posted another photo of himself and the brunette beauty, only to delete it right away.
More sexy pics to come? Was Selena also wearing no shirt? Where are her hands positioned? What happened after this picture was taken?
So, so many questions. But just one for you all now, THGers:
Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez back on: You excited?

Sarah. I agree that Clara`s remark is incredible... on friday I got a new Jaguar E-type after making $8166 this-past/month and-a little over, 10k last-munth. this is really my favourite job I've ever done. I began this four months/ago and immediately began to bring home more than $85, per-hour. I use this website, kep2.com
Why is he trying to tell the world that they are together again so much? Selena is not hinting anything at all, it is him who keeps on posting and deleting photos of them together. That said I am very dissapointed in Selena, she should stay clear of him and stick to her career and growing up like she was doing so well before jetting off to Norway!

The first drive reviews of the F10 M5 have begun rolling in. Insideline has just posted their first impressions of BMW's newest M5. Their verdict? They call the F10 M5 a better overall sport sedan compared to the E60.
The more interesting comments are posted inside, but head over to Insideline for the full review.
Here's the very first look at a production Imperial Blue Metallic F10 M5 (although it could also possibly be Azurite Black Individual which is also a dark blue/black color). Imperial Blue Metallic has a beautiful metallic blue hue to it when illuminated and is the darker of the F10 M5 colors. This particular 2012 M5 joined ///M Flight, an M owner's club in Germany, this past weekend. Club members were given rides in the new monster 560hp M5 and got up to 187mph on the Autobahn! Photo set inside.
The BMW M Power Experience featuring the F10 M5 is coming to Spain from October 17 – November 11. The two day event will feature fine hospitality, dining, and of course some track time with the 2012 M5. Registrations are now open for the experience.
The cost for the experience is 1,390 euro per participant (890 euro for accompanying person not participating in driving). This includes hotel (one night), catering, transfers between hotel, racetrack and airport. Does NOT include travel to Sevilla airport/hotel from your country.
Day 1: Leisure Program and Gala Dinner
Guests arrive at the Waldorf Astoria Sevilla at La Voticaria where they will be staying for the evening. Activities such as sightseeing Seville (20 minutes away), horseback riding, golf, or in-house spa are available … CONTINUED
We hope you've enjoyed our coverage so far of the massive BMW exhibit at the 2011 Frankfurt IAA. And now you can also view the entire BMW press conference from the event. Inside is an English translated video of the kickoff press conference. You can really see how the full circle track in the BMW hall added a unique element to the presentation.
The 2011 Frankfurt IAA represents the F10 M5′s general public reveal and BMW has strutted out not just the typical Monte Carlo Blue launch color, but also in Moonstone (Individual color), and Alpine White. It felt like ///M heaven walking into the M area.
There was also a Monte Carlo Blue M5 being used to drive around the BMW track in the exhibit hall, as well as the F10 M5 Safety Car.
The Alpine White M5 was paired with a gorgeous Sakhir Orange interior with black piano trim, and optional enhanced seats. Each M5 featured blue brakes, which are standard
Also, to solve any confusion regarding the F10 M5′s steering, we confirmed that it is hydraulic steering.
Well, this looks like fun. We've reported about the six lucky guys who were invited to the F10 M5 Fly and Drive event earlier this month (one of them was 5POST member benz61). M-Power.com has just published a new video starring the new M5, Claudia Huertgen, a German race car driver, and some happy passengers. This video includes some nice drifts and thus obviously doesn't reflect the fastest possible time for the car.
Enjoy the new M5 during a fun lap on the Nurburgring. Also remember that the new M5 will be available as regular Ring Taxi from 2012 on.
We've posted the best sound/video clip and photos yet of the F10 M5 safety car, showing off its M5 Akrapovic exhaust standing still and at launch. Videos and photos are courtesy of 5POST member Bmill, who was one of the lucky VIP in attendance at the BMW M Experience at the Indy MotoGP this past weekend.
Earlier this month, M-Power.com invited six lucky customers from all-over the world to the Ring and let them experience and drive the new BMW M5 (see the video and our thread HERE). One of them was Benjamin Goh from Singapore. Judging from his enthusiastic comments in said video, there was little doubt that Benjamin was a true car enthusiast. M-Power.com visited him in Singapore and chronicled the event, which leaves no doubt he's a car fanatic.
Just to name a few cars Benjamin owns, the following report includes photos of an M3 GTS, a 1M, a Lamborghini Gallardo and a just-delivered Ferrari 458. Oh yea, and he's got no less than two BMW M5s on order.
Enjoy the report and head over to M-Power.com for more photos. If … CONTINUED
Our coverage of M cars from this weekend's BMW M Experience at the Indianapolis MotoGP continues with the first exhaust clips of the F10 M5 safety car showing off its badass Akropovic exhaust system, the production F10 M5, and some more 1M safety car pics.
The videos below were taken during the M5 safety car's police escorted drive from the race track to downtown Indianapolis, where it was shown off to BMW M Experience VIPs and passerbys.

Ummmmm, in 3 months..
Posted 17 August 2010 - 10:47 AM
My service was activated 5/15. I called up on 8/9 to turn off the FREE Starz/Showtime premiums so they wouldn't change over to paid on 8/14. When I called it was to just turn off Showtime as I was going to keep the Starz Superpack as a birthday gift for my father. The girl I talked to also noted I had been getting the FREE 3 months of HD Extra Pack. She asked if I got a chance to watch those and I told her yes and I was keeping that as well. She put me on hold to make the changes. After waiting for awhile she came back and said since I was keeping Starz she had an offer where I could also get Showtime for $1/mo. for 6 months. I took it. She also said in 6 months when I call to cancel Showtime they'll probably have another offer for me as they always have offers on premiums.

Comments On Apr 08, 2014:me and my friend modified my front sprocket from a 12 to a 13 and boy it made a difference the low and first to second gears are more spaced on it and not going to first to second in seconds it gave more power too.We had to modify the chain case break to fit the chain was the only thing we had to do.

Comments On Apr 07, 2014:Stock I was at a 14-tooth sprocket. I bumped it up to a 15-tooth in order to gain a better top end as well as a bit more speed. The 700 is such a torque monster down low that I did not feel any loss in my low end power. 15-tooth = better top end/speed and the 13-tooth = better bottom end/torque but a loss in speed in your final gear.

In June 2011, The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) approved the Black Bass Management Plan. It was the result of more than 7,500 anglers providing input to our scientists followed by detailed discussions with a technical assistance group representing fishing-related businesses, university experts, professional anglers, outdoor media and fishing guides. Implementation of the plan is expected to create significant ecological, economic and social benefits for Florida in the long term but is already producing remarkable results.
1. Ensuring healthy lakes and rivers to benefit many species of fish and wildlife, as well as trophy bass fisheries. 2. Strengthening local economies by documenting and increasing economic benefits derived from bass fishing, which provided more than 14 million days of quality outdoor recreation for bass anglers and generated an economic impact of $1.25 billion prior to implementing the plan. 3. Attracting events such as national professional bass fishing tournaments, which have huge economic impacts, to smaller towns and cities as a result of Florida's enhanced reputation. Here is a partial list of accomplishments. (See Black Bass Management Plan, for more details.)
The FWC stopped state-owned hatcheries from stocking or relocating bass outside their native range. Genetic testing will help ensure pure Florida populations will be maintained. New rules regulate importation of non-native bass and prohibit anglers from moving bass around in ways that could hurt their genetic integrity or move parasites and diseases.
The FWC Invasive Plant Management Section implemented an agency position statement to guide the agency in managing hydrilla using a risk-based approach that now incorporates public input into hydrilla management plans. Bass Tournaments Tournament permits annually allow clubs and organizations to possess bass outside legal size limits with the condition that all bass (even those that could normally be harvested) must be released. The FWC is strengthening partnerships with bass fishing organizations and local communities to encourage large tournaments to come to Florida and to enhance facilities.
Another objective was to work cooperatively with other agencies to emphasize recreational fisheries. An example is Lake Okeechobee, where the cooperative efforts of local citizens groups, the South Florida Water Management District, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the FWC got the Water Regulation Schedule changed to benefit lake ecology. Outstanding catch rates for bass and crappie are being reported.
FWC biologists are seeking to use the least restrictive regulations possible to protect trophy bass, while maintaining a statewide bass fishery that provides diverse angling opportunities, including controlled harvest and high angler satisfaction. University of Florida human dimensions experts are working to enhance the public input process, and a series of townhall-type meetings was held in spring 2013. Also, a survey was distributed to anglers to obtain their opinions.
The BBMP incorporates all four black bass species found in Florida. Shoal bass are a lesser known species that occur in a limited range in the upper Chipola River. Recent research provides a science-informed perspective to assess and manage this species. Results show a robust population of shoal bass. The Big Catch angler recognitions program, added a new Bass Slam to encourage awareness of these other black bass species.
To expedite restoration of Lake Apopka, the Florida Legislature appropriated $4.8 million in 2012. A multi-agency task force identified five projects to restore this valuable fishery. In the interim, the FWC continues to stock the lake with non-reproducing sunshine bass to provide a recreational fishery.
Stocking bass can effectively create new fisheries and re-establish a fishery after a major fish kill. FWC hatchery staff developed a new production technique to spawn bass out of season, so advanced fingerlings (4-inch) are ready to stock when more abundant prey are available. Now FWC biologists are conducting a small-lake stocking study to determine survival of advanced-fingerling bass in 11 lakes throughout Florida.
FWC biologists tagged 136 trophy largemouth bass greater than 8 pounds in Florida's public waters during the first tagging season. Results are very informative and will help guide trophy bass management planning in the future. If you catch any fish with a tag, cut the tag close to the fish and call the Tag Hotline at 1-800-367-4461 or email tagreturn@ MyFWC.com.
Providing greater opportunities for trophy- size bass and promoting Florida's exceptional largemouth fishery was an important component of the BBMP. TrophyCatch (TrophyCatchFlorida.com), launched in October 2012 and will help document that Florida is the "Bass Fishing Capital of the World," while promoting catch-and-release of trophy bass. Register, legally catch an 8-pound-plus bass, document it according to the rules, and release it in Florida to claim great rewards and valuable prizes.
The Fellsmere project is an example of a new opportunity. This 10,000-acre parcel of land in Indian River County was purchased by the St. Johns River Water Management District and is being converted into a reservoir. The FWC provided resources to enhance fish and wildlife habitat and to benefit fish and wildlife populations, anglers and wildlife viewers.
An example of current efforts to help recruit future anglers is FWC involvement in laying the groundwork to incorporate bass fishing as a sanctioned sport in high schools. FWC is working with the FLW and The Bass Federation, as well as the Florida Department of Education to increase competition between schools with bass fishing clubs.
Biologists evaluated an alternative weighin procedure to reduce handling stress on bass. Two experimental e-tournaments were evaluated. Fish were weighed or measured on the boat, photographed and then released. e-tournaments are a good choice for bass anglers wanting to hold tournaments during summer or on waters where bass cannot be legally kept. However, no plans to require such tournaments are currently contemplated. The FWC will continue to update you as we strive to implement the BBMP and use TrophyCatch and other research methods to evaluate our success. Please check our website, MyFWC.com/Fishing, sign up for newsletters, and follow us on FaceBook. TrophyCatch is especially active and provides great insights into when and where the best fishing is (FaceBook.com/TrophyCatchFlorida and YouTube.com/TrophyCatchFlorida).
FWC Facts:Blue crabs have specially modified back legs, called swimmerets, which rotate at 20-40 revolutions per minute, allowing the crab to quickly swim through the water.

There are 218 firehouses in New York City, and, some could say, one located nearly 7,000 miles away, at Camp Bastion in Afghanistan.
Four FDNY firefighters – Shaun Cullen, Jim Denniston, Erick Pound and Tripp Zanetis – served on the 101st Rescue Squadron as part of the New York Air National Guard in Afghanistan from September to November. It was the first time a team of FDNY members have worked together in this way, and the elite rescue team is credited for saving more than 100 lives.
"I take tremendous pride in knowing we're coming from a job at home with same skill set as is needed here," Firefighter Shaun Cullen, Engine 54, said from Afghanistan. He serves as the pilot of the HH-60 Pave Hawk helicopter and crew captain. "We are postured for missions in the same way we wait for calls back home – listening for the tones to sound in the firehouse."
Members of the crew worked 12 hour shifts, seven days a week. As soon as they got a call, they were off the ground in minutes, rushing to rescue U.S. Marines and British soldiers. They carried with them a team of medics in the back of the helicopter who treated the victims of trauma or other serious medical conditions as they are rushed to specialty surgeons.

There were nine FDNY firefighters total in the 26th Expeditionary Rescue Squadron, with the others working on different teams.
Firefighter Denniston, Engine 285, a flight mechanic who recently returned home, said, "There was a big Fire Department presence here; we even flew the FDNY flag over the compound. It's definitely a family – here and there."
Firefighter Zanetis, Ladder 11, the team's co-pilot, said he likes working with other firefighters while overseas.
"You have an immediate comfort level, you trust them. It's unfortunate to say that the job here is active – like the FDNY – but it's great that the job we train for we are able to do … we are able to save lives," he said.
Both Firefighters Cullen and Zanetis said they are on their second deployment, and Firefighter Denniston just completed his first.
Firefighter Cullen said he joined the Department after realizing he did not enjoy his career in finance. Soon after, he decided to take on a "second job" with the Guard, because he liked the similarities the job had with his work at the FDNY.

Firefighter Zanetis said he joined the FDNY after Sept. 11, nothing, "After my experience trying to help out [at the World Trade Center site], I realized it was a career opportunity that I didn't want to regret missing 20 years down the road."
He added that he then decided to join the National Guard while at the Fire Academy, after attending his first FDNY line-of-duty funeral for Firefighter Christian Engeldrum. The National Guardsman was killed while serving in Iraq in 2004.
Firefighter Denniston, on the other hand, said he grew up knowing he wanted to be a firefighter. Three months after graduating from the Academy, he signed up for the National Guard, after previously having flown missions for the Coast Guard.
"I think that the National Guard and FDNY attract the same type of people with the same personalities," he said.
All of the firefighters said they like the way their jobs with the FDNY blended into their work overseas.
"We're bringing that spirit of firehouse living and New York lifestyle to this place," Firefighter Cullen said. "We have a tremendous amount of pride and we're thankful to be here doing this mission."

Hello everyone,
My name is Melissa and I'll be starting BFL again on April 15th. I'm a 38 y/o mom and wife that works full time. So I'm at the gym by 5am :( I hate it but a busy gal's gotta do what a busy gals gotta do! The last time I did this I made it about 5 week in and had good loss inches wise, but the scale hardly moved. Unfortunately I'm a numbers gal and I lost my motivation.
I'm going to have trouble with the eating because right now I don't eat until 2pm even though I'm up at 4:30am. I just get so busy I forget to eat.
I'm also going to struggle with the reduced time exercising. I currently run between 4 and 5 miles 3x's a week plus I'm hoping to ride my bike at least once a week for 15 miles! How crazy is it that I hardly eat and I workout a lot and I can't get break 195lbs....I'm only 5'4"!
I had a book and journal, but I'll be dammed if I can find them before Monday, so I'm just going to try the library and wing it until I find my book.
I have a total of 50lbs to lose, so I'm hoping to be here for at least two cycles. I really want to see this through.
I look forward to getting to know you all.
That is the day I plan on starting also. I'm 24, wife, and mother to a 6 month old baby girl (who is still nursing).
I am also 5'4 and I am weighing in at about 190. I have done BFL before with much success.
Congrats on the baby girl. I haven't nursed in a LONG TIME. My baby girl is 8 now :) We should make sure to motivate each other. If you don't mind my asking what type of success did you have in the past?
I am 38, mother of 4, full time daycare provider to 10-16 kids, 70 hrs per week. I did body for life in 2004, I went from 198 to 133 in about 1 year. I ran 3 miles a day and lifted 3x a week. I had more time then, I was going through a divorce and that kept me going, I used the gym as my get away from it all place. since then I got remarried and had another baby, he is now 4, soon to be 5. and I am back up to 205, I am 5'6", I am going to start Monday with you ladies. I have been trying but not really sticking to anything, I am one of those people that is hard to get going but once I do, I am unstoppable.
and call me shallow but my ex just got new girlfriend, and my kids said she is skinner than you! well I don't think so, I am not bitter and I don't want him back but come on, she will not be better than me!!!! does that make me horrible???
I look forward to checking in with you all.
Yay! I'm so glad someone else joined. It's going to make doing this a little easier having accountability.
My first BFL Challenge was in 2011. I started at 162.4 and got down to 150. I was taking a full load of pre-nursing classes ( I am a studying freak. All day every day.) and still managed to fit in 6 days of workouts. I CAN DO THIS WITH A BABY! I just need to keep telling myself that. I have a blog that I wrote in while doing BFL and I plan on starting it up again. www.allitoddwantsahotbod.blogspot.com
I am now at 190 after having a baby. My heaviest ever. Was 213 when she was born.
Meagan, you are not shallow or horrible, just human I think! :D Get it girl!
All of those pictures are from 2011, by the way. I do NOT look like that at all now. Baby flab and stretch marks :(
Wow Alli those were GREAT results that you had. I have no doubt that you will be able to repeat it. Even if that's not what you look like know, you will get there again. Thanks for sharing.
Meagain that is WAY too funny, and what drives some of us. For me it's my husband's ex. Luckily none of the kids have ever made the comparison (because they know I'd KILL THEM), but it's always a little something in the back of my mind.
I know this sounds bad, but I don't know if I can limit my alcohol to 1 day per week. Not that I'm an alcoholic, but I work REALLY long days and sometimes momma needs a glass of wine (or champange) to relax before bed. I say this as I enjoy my 2nd glass of peach champange (Bellini) after a 60+ hr work week. I guess we all will have our struggles and that is the point of this forum. WE'RE NOT ALONE and WE WILL DO THIS!!!!!!
Take care ladies. I'm off to bed.
Hi Ladies. I'm planning on starting on 4/15 as well! This is my first time with this diet. I have been dieting for the past three months using my fitness pal with slow results- 12lbs since Jan1. Would really like to jump start some results. My husband is diabetic and really needs to get his diet under control. We have 5 sons and both work full time- so the weight lifting routine is a little overwhelming. But I need to do something to get the energy I need for our life :-)
Hi. I'm starting tomorrow (4/15) too.
I'm Larissa. I am 42 years young. Mother of 6...ages ranging from 22 years to 9 years. I live in Texas. I'm a professional counselor, working full-time and I'm married. Oh...and my husband works out of the country but he is home every 3-4 months for about 4 weeks. I'm competing in the BFL challenge because I feel so physically miserable. I am 5'7" at 194 lbs (that means I have over 60 lbs to lose). I'm too young to feel this old! I started BFL in 1999 & followed the program for 8 weeks & had amazing results so I know it works! Life was different back then because I was a personal trainer, working in a gym. I am going to do this but It's difficult to get motivated & stay focused. That's why I'm here! I'm looking for a group to complete all 12 weeks...sticking to it through the good days and the not so good days! It's only 12 weeks....We can do anything for 12 weeks!!!
Hello Ladies!!!! I'm super excited because I just got home from food shopping. I'm ready food wise for week 1. For breakfast I'm making a ham and egg thing that I found in the BFL cook book. Lunches and dinner will either be buffalo chicken on a whole wheat sandwhich thin or whole wheat past with tomatoe sauce that has ground turkey. The key for me is to have healthy options available quickly.
I know we didn't start yet, but this morning I did a 10 mile bike ride followed by a 3.2 mile run. It was hard, but I did it. Since my legs are killing me I'm looking forward to an upper body workout. I'm not looking forward to doing it at 5am though.
So let me know what you are doing to prepare.
Take care,
Hi there,
I'm planning on starting tomorrow too! I did BFL once in 2007 and got some great results, went from a size 8 to a size 2! Since then, I got married and regained all the weight and a bit more. (Instead of me inspiring him to get super healthy, I followed him to a more lethargic lifestyle) well, I'm now recently separated, moved from Georgia to Texas and most likely on the way to a divorce (amicable and no kids together, so hopefully we can remain friendly)
Anyway, I need to re-start my life, get re-inspired and re-motivate... That usually isn't difficult for me, but I'm finding it to be harder this time. :/
I hope to help you all through this journey and get to know you better...
Great job Alli - Very inspiring! And Meagain, I agree with Alli, you're just human!
Melissa, I'll join you for a drink on our free days! :D
Im getting my food ready and writing out my workout for tomorrow
See you all tomorrow I'm really looking forward to this and to staying accountable with this group,
I'm Robyn. 44 year old mother of 11 year old girl. Happily married and live in Jacksonville FL. I need to do this badly. I went through, and finished, a BFL challenge about 3 years ago and had some success. I lost about 15 pounds, but it looked like more than that. Anyway, you're supposed to take a little break after the round is over and I never went back to it. I feel like a total idiot for doing that because I was really starting to look good. I could see definition in my stomach and arms. I'm 5'6 and between 160-165 per my last weight-watcher weigh in.
Anyway, I've been going to the Y for a few weeks, and while I'm feeling good that I'm going, I don't feel motivated like I did back when I did BFL and had a forum to come back to and 'friends' to commiserate with. I will say that had it not been for these forums I would have quit long before I did. What I kept hearing back then and then found to be true for myself is that its not until about week 10 that you can really see a big change in numbers and appearance and it just kind of happens out of nowhere. I can attest to that. You'll work your tale off for a few weeks and not see too much in result but it will come!! Also, I found that many of the recipies in Eating for Life are soooo good. I recall that my husband and daughter enjoyed them too. I'm just so tired when I get home from work that I don't feel like cooking usually, but that's got to change. Don't forget to take pictures. (Pretty much reminding myself). You'll be glad you did when you get to the last week and visually compare week 1 to week 12.
Anyway, I'm happy to be in a forum to meet other like-minded people. Looking forward to the journey. The last time I did this, we all got into the forum everyday and talked about food and workouts and encouraged each other. I'm really looking forward to that!!
if your sick of starting over, stop quitting
OMG. My original challenge pics are still in my profile. I have all my starting fat-girl pics then the result after the challenge is the last pic. Anyway, I will soon replace those fat-pics with the 2013 version of my fat pics. :) Nothing like just putitng it all out there.
Today is the day! Im confident I can follow the eating plan today but am nervous about starting the workouts. Luckily my older sons are football players so we have a weight bench at home. Does anyone have any tips on how to learn the exercises? I haven't ever lifted weights other than what is used in Jazzercise :-)
